Week of February 22, 2016

Reading: We will be completing our unit on Biographies this week. We will reread and review some of the biographies we have already read and choose one or two of the famous people we learned about to do more research on together. This unit was really meaningful for the kindergarten and they were really excited to learn about people from the past. I encourage you to continue reading biographies at home!

Writing: The students are finishing our Buddy Biographies. The students will be publishing and celebrating their work throughout the week!
